Oppressed by Captain Nemo, Ned Land sought liberty. Although Nemo gave the illusion of freedom through mobility on the ship, he had the control. Unhappy living in the Nautilus, Ned Land was constantly fighting to be free. Throughout the entire novel, we see the only one making an honest effort to escape is Ned Land. Freedom is necessary to live a fulfilling life. During the initial capture, Ned Land was the most resistant. Both Aronnax and Conseil had showed little to no resistance. “Nevertheless, Ned Land, who was furious at what had happened, was giving full vent to his indignation” (51). He had even tried to escape that very day they were captured. Ned was willing to fight his way to freedom when Ned, Aronnax, and Conseil were captured by the men on the Nautilus. “‘Not in the pot!’ replied the Canadian, ‘but in the oven without a doubt! It’s dark enough here and fortunately I still have my bowie knife, and I can always see well enough to use that. The first of those bandits to lay hands on me—’” (52). When their captors had first entered the prison they had put Ned, Aronnax, and Conseil, Ned Land had “…complained vehemently at being imprisoned in violation of human rights…” (55). It becomes very obvious that Ned Land enjoys it when he is no longer in the Nautilus. When Ned, Aronnax, and Conseil were granted the ability to be on an island for a few days, Aronnax had said, “Ned Land could not contain his joy. He was like a prisoner just escaped from jail, and the thought…

Overall throughout the history, wealthy and privileged people used their power to label poor unprivileged people as mentally ill and exploit them to control society. To justify the controlling of the society, society used experts because if the scientific information is coming from well-respected expert’s no one questions it and everyone believes it. 1. When considering youth and the mental health industry, I have made the argument that medicating kids is a political act. How does the 20/20…

They always say “hindsight is 20/20”. Hindsight is thinking about things after it has happened and 20/20 refers to perfect vision. Thus, when someone says “hindsight is 20/20” they are usually realizing a decision they made could have been made much better. There are many Christian marriages that are created by contracts. In fact, the Church enforces a contract marriage to shun couples away from ‘shacking’. Unfortunately, the covenant aspects of marriage may or may not be shared to the…

At Atlantis Vision Center in Indian Harbour Beach, FL, we often get common, yet important, eye care questions. One such inquiry is the meaning behind the term “20/20 vision.” This term expresses normal visual acuity (in other words, the sharpness, or clarity, of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. People with 20/20 vision can clearly see the objects that should normally be seen at 20 feet. However, 20/20 does not necessarily mean perfect vision. The term only indicates the sharpness…

The old adage “Hindsight is 20/20” applies perfectly to the study of Greek art. In the modern world, classicists and art historians, in looking back on Greek art, have described, categorized, and grouped ancient works ad nauseum in order to to more easily see progressions in ceramic ware, statues and architecture while still allowing for comparisons between time periods and mediums (e.g. pedimental sculpture and amphoras). With this construct in mind, this paper will analyze one particular…

Soldier 20/20 is the plan to help adapt our Army into becoming a stronger force. Our nation has been at war for the better part of the last 20 years. We have changed as an Army and adapted in multiple ways during this time. This program is being implemented to not only continue to expand, but to also fine tune the things that have changed. Some of the variables being looked at are women being able to serve in combat positions, soldiers unfit for their current Military Occupational Specialty…

simulation not of events that occurred, but of one curated by Truman and his PR team to frame Truman as a decisive leader. The presence of this debate in American classrooms as direct reactions proves the power of his justification on public memory was greater than the actual events themselves. Illustrating why it was politically imperative for leaders to curate their statements, and also why it is imperative for us as citizens to understand that they are doing so. Understanding of political…

can interpret and read literature to fully appreciate it. It says, “You should read a story attentively, just as you would listen attentively to someone telling you a story out loud” (Mays 16). By saying this, it tells us to pretend we are just listening to someone tell us a story, the only difference being that we have to actually read something, not just listen to it. It certainly is easier to just listen to something being read to you, but the best stories you may experience may be ones that…

First came ‘Classic’, then came ’10’, now comes ‘20’. Capping off the ‘Butterfly’ game series, is Butterfly Hot 20 the pick of the bunch? Butterfly Hot 20 After the invention of the Butterfly Hot 10, Zeus Services have not stoppd there, as they clearly believe that the ‘Buttefly’ series of games has legimate franchise potential.

20 is a freshman at Western Albemarle High School in Crozet, VA. 20 is very artistic and loves to express herself. In fact, every day she expresses her love for traveling by wearing an anchor bracelet and a bracelet from Belize.

She also expresses herself by sharing her life with her friends on her phone. When you’re traveling and…
